Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has congratulated the newly elected national chairman and secretary of All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore, expressing confidence in their abilities to manage the affairs of the party.
A statement made available in Osogbo on Sunday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ismail Omipidan, said Oyetola spoke to journalists at the venue of the APC convention in Abuja.
The governor, who commended South West leaders of APC for supporting Omisore, also thanked other contestants for accepting to withdraw from the race, expressed confidence in the capacity of Omisore to deliver and take APC to a greater level.
According to him, the peaceful conduct of the convention was a testimony to the strong unity that exists in APC and an attestation to the fact that the ruling party has its ways of resolving issues without necessarily resorting to conflict.
Oyetola was further quoted as saying, “First of all, I must thank our leaders in the South West for their support for our own Senator Iyiola Omisore. This is a great thing for us in Osun APC and I must thank other contestants for conceding and accepting to withdraw from the race. I commend them for the bold step just as I assure them of our support in their time of need. I have no doubt in the capacity of Otunba Omisore to deliver and take our party to greater level.
“Contrary to the negative expectations of some people the convention went peacefully. The security operatives have done wonderfully well. I am really proud of what had happened today, it is a sign that our party is united, formidable and remained indivisible.
“In achieving all these, I must personally commend the leadership quality provided by President Muhammadu Buhari who always advocate for harmony and peace in the party. It is natural to have disagreement, but what is important is the ability to have workable mechanism to resolve any crisis without necessarily resorting to rancour. I am confident that with the existing unity in the APC, our party will continue to remain in power beyond 2023 by the grace of God.”
